Frequently asked questions

What is schema markup and why does it matter for SEO?

Schema markup (structured data) is code added to a web page that helps search engines understand the content's meaning and context — not just its keywords. When Google can interpret your content as a FAQ, a recipe, a product, or a local business, it can display rich results (enhanced search snippets) with star ratings, step counts, FAQs, and more. Rich results typically earn higher click-through rates than standard blue-link results.

What is JSON-LD and should I use it?

JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) is the schema markup format recommended by Google. It sits in a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag and does not need to be embedded throughout your HTML. This makes it easier to add and update compared to Microdata or RDFa. All SaySEO schema outputs use JSON-LD format.

Does FAQ schema still work in 2026?

Google announced in 2023 that FAQ rich results would be limited to authoritative government and health sites. However, FAQPage schema still provides structured signals to Google and other search engines (Bing, DuckDuckGo), and it's increasingly used to influence AI overview answers (Google's AI Overviews and Gemini). The structured Q&A format helps AI systems cite and summarise your content accurately.

How do I add the generated schema to my website?

Paste the generated JSON-LD code inside a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in the <head> section of your page, or just before the closing </body> tag. In WordPress, you can use a plugin like RankMath or Yoast, or paste it directly into a custom HTML block. In Next.js, use dangerouslySetInnerHTML inside a <script> tag. After adding it, test with Google's Rich Results Test.

What is the difference between LocalBusiness and Organization schema?

LocalBusiness schema is used for physical businesses with a location that customers visit — shops, restaurants, clinics, and agencies. It includes address, opening hours, and telephone. Organization schema is used for companies with an online presence but no customer-facing location — SaaS companies, publishers, and charities. Use LocalBusiness for local SEO clients and Organization for purely digital businesses.
